355 - Moonlighting

extended clip

Today's podcast is on Jerzy Skolimowski's Moonlighting. The 1982 film stars Jeremy Irons as the foreman of a Polish immigrant labor team illegally working on a London flat during the solidarity protests and eventual coup in Warsaw. We talked about the unique mixture of British social realism, Chaplin-esque sentimentality, and classic Skolimowski tension boiling over into surrealism. There's also a lengthy sidebar about Wu-Tanging blunts, naturally.
